The paper deals with the effects of a glycosidal extract of isoplexis canariensis (Schrophulariaceae), grown in the Canary Islands, on isolated auricle of rabbits, isolated ileum of guinea-pigs, isolated jejunum of rabbits, urinary excretion of rats and Rb uptake by red cells. The extract produced an increase in the contraction force of aurides, contractile response in guinea-pigs ileum, hypermotility followed by paralysis in the rabbit jejunum, diminution of the urinary excretion in rats and decrease of the 86Rb uptake by red cells. Except for the antidiuretic action, the pharmacological activity of the principles contained in the extract is similar to that of the digitalis compounds.
